“14 tracks for the Berghain massive”

Berlin's Berghain nightclub has in the last couple of years become one of the most vibrant and important nightspots in the world. The club's influence is so substantial that it has had mentions in Vogue, the New York Times, The Guardian and even The New Zealand Herald this year alone - marking it at the very tip of the zeitgeist. Although often associated with the trend for Minimal Techno, Berghain has become more readily identified with the machine-like, bass-heavy and stripped down constructions beloved of its residents Marcel Dettmann, Cassy Britton, André Galluzzi, Norman Nodge, Ben Klock and Nick Höppner, who also runs the club's excellent 'Ostgut Tonträger' imprint. Recently described by Pitchfork's Philip Sherburne as "quite possibly the current world capital of techno", this might just be the time for you to explore the sound of Berlin through the night and early morning with 14 tracks inspired by, and in the spirit of Berghain...

“cassy”

love berghain - this selection is spot on. don't know any of these tracks but it feels like i've heard them so many times before at that amazing club. Really like that they are fun to listen 2 outside of that setting. Oh, and i LOVE Cassy!

“baby ford / rob hood”

baby Ford's 'sacred machine' is one of the best albums in the minimal style - so deep. do they play things like rob hood at Berghain or is it too bleepy? Miniml nation is the finest Minimal album ever.

“The weekend just gone!”

Was just over there from the UK last Saturday (2nd Aug) and it was just plain evil!! Went in at 8am and it was shaking the foundations! Top soundsystem! Scary club!

“Nice selection”

Berghain has a notorious door policy though...come all the way from the UK ...and u may not get in ! ... well known for this !!

Hello Elia...yeah, scary club but so brilliant. funny door policy too. really like this selection, nice to listen to it on a wednesday morning at work with my headphones on and imagining im somewhere else..haha

“No Bleeps, No Bloops”

Hello kevin barrows,
Berghain certainly doesn't go in for the bleepy bloopy school of minimal. It's very much Rob Hood/Jeff Mills inspired - driving, cavernous, analog minimalism - placed in an East Berlin industrial building. It is also, as I think some of these comments hint at, not a club for the lighthearted. It is about losing yourself in this stuff so expect darkness, sex (in many forms!), wandering anarchists and startled tourists...

“best time to go?”

So what's the best night of the week to go to Berghain? is there much difference between Friday and Saturday nights? What time do things start and finish? and do people really go there during the day? I just love that Prosumer song. thankyou!

“Another wicked selection!”

Love all the 14 Tracks mixes so far, and the new price is killer. Just a tiny thing - can you bundle the tracks so they can be downloaded in a single file? Downloading the individual ones from myboomkat is a bit fiddly.....

“please zip or bundle entire selection”

... us lot are never satisfied are we!? Always complaining about something but if you could bundle these selections into one easy downloadable package that'd be amazing. Once you do this it'll make 14 Tracks simply the best and easiest way to experience new music ... unless you could send little pixies round to our houses every week to squirt these musical treats directly into our noggins. Could you do that?
